Illustrating the shipbuilding bus iness that is available, Commodore Jahncke described how the yards in the East were working day and able to supply the demand. He de clared that the opportunities in na- ; vy work were especially alluring and that the construction of torpedo- I boat destroyers was a great deal simpler than that of cargo carriers. ; Commodore Jahncke would not i say where the new yard is to be lo cated, except that it would not be at Chalmette. It will be a perma nent establishment, and Commodore Jahncke expects to get all his labor in the South. Under the specialization of mod ern shipbuilding, expert labor can be very readily developed, declared Commodore Jahncke. For instance, he said, a skilled foreman could make a machine specialist out of a cross-roads blacksmith, and every man who has any ability at all or perseverance can find an opening. Thus not only will New Orleans bus iness be benefited by $20,000 new money a week, but the earning ca pacity of the people will be raised. The Jahncke Shipbuilding Com pany is now building six 3500-ton wooden steamships at Madisonville, just across the lake—a yard that employs 400 men, whose payroll is between $6000 and $7000 a week Nearly every one of them bought a Liberty bond, and a photograph of the yard was a multiple exhibit of the smile that won't come off. Con struction began six weeks ago, and the timbers are in place and plank- . ing begun. ; ] ! The State Board of Health at its j Quarterly meeting October 29-30, j 1917, among other amendments to | the Sanitary Code, passed the fol- i lowing which is of widespread in- j terest. This regulation follows an ! examination made by the State jin Board of Health of over four hun- j dred (400) hair brushes gathered : from (12) of the leading places of the State. The regulation is: The use of the common hair brush on railway trains, in dressing ! rooms or other apartments of rail- , way stations, steambooats, hotels, boarding houses, stores, offices, schools, natatoriums (or other bath- a LOUISIANA STATE BOARD OF HEALTH Again We Call Your Attention To the Beautiful line of Coat Suits and Coats We are offering.

"Miss Mollie King, who did such excellent work in 'Mystery df the Double Cross', plays the leading role i this serial. Creighton Hale, who became popular with serial fans by his work as the 'Laughing Mask' jin 'The Iron Claw', is the leading man. Leon Bary, well known on the French and American stage as ithe leading man for Sarah Bern hardt, who made a success as the 'heavy' in 'The Shielding Shadow' and as the hero in 'Mystery of the Double Cross,' again enacts the role of the villain. "The story by Chas. W. Goddard, a well known dramatist who wrote the use of the hair brush in com mon. Another amendment passed, also of interest, is: If any cemetery, company or as sociation, or any church or histori cal society or association, or any other company, society or associa tion, or any individual, is in pos session of any record of births or deaths which may be of value in establishing the genealogy of any resident of this state, such company, society, association or individual, may file such record or a duly au thenticated transcript thereof with the state registrar, and it shall be the duty of the state registrar to perserve such record form to facili tate the finding of any information contained therein. While the effort to secure com plete registration of births of the current year is commendable and imperative, it is belitved interest may be stimulated by urging adults to register their own births so that the record of every individual ir the State may be found in Louis iana's Family Bible. The value of such records in the years to come will be incalculable. MANAGER LOEB LOOKS FOR BIG SUCCESS WITH "THE SEVEN PEARLS' j 'The Perils of Paulino' and collabor ated with Mr. Reeve in "The Ex ploits of Elaine,' is one that will in terest American audiences. It is ro mnatic and thrilling, it has been well produced by the Astra Film Corporation ander the personal su pervision of Mr. Louis J. Gasnier and has the atmosphere that we put in our five-reel features, plus the snappy serial action." CHRISTMAS MAIL FOR AMERI CAN FORCES ABROAD. The time is approaching to give thought to bringing Christmas cheer to the American soldiers and sail ors abroad. Arrangements have been perfect ed whereby the Christmas mail to the American Expeditionary- Forces in Europe is to be delivered by Christmas morning. Wtihout the fullest cooperation on the public, it will be impossible to accomplish this result. Three essential respects in which the public can aid in asssuring a happpy Christmas at the front arc: Mail early, address intelligently, and pack securely. For this rcas ! on it is urgently requested that all 1 persons having Christmas mail for j tty- soldiers and sailors and civilian , units attached to the army in Eu ' rope observe closely the following directions: 1. Mails to reach the soldiers in France by Christmas morning MUST BE POSTED NOT LATER THAN NOVEMBER 15. By order No. 821, of the Postmaster General dated October 23, 1!)17, such par j cels will be limited in weight to seven pounds. 2. Every package must bear con spicuously the words "Christmas Mail", the complete address of th? person for whom the mail is intend ed, and in the upper left hand corn er, the name and address of the sender. 3 Every parcel must be so p 'tke-l and wrappped as to admit of easy inspection by the postmaster. No parcel will be dispatched to France which has not the Postmastr's cer tificate that it contains no prohibit ed articles. Intoxicants, inflam mable materials (including friction matches), or composition whicn may kill or injure another or damage mails are amongst the articles pro hibited.
